Chapter 272: Evidence in Hand

The owner of the embassy is an official of Honglu Temple, under the jurisdiction of Honglu Qing, this is a big fat man with a smile on his face, but a bad stomach in his stomach, extremely greedy, laughing like a Maitreya Buddha, but only people who really know this person know that this person is a guy who eats people and does not spit out bones.

"General Zhao's coming, it really makes the embassy shine, the general invites you to sit in the embassy!" The owner's face narrowed because of the smile, and those who didn't know thought he was really happy, but they didn't know that this was his signature smile.

Zhao Ziliang nodded, followed the owner to a room, and soon the maid brought tea.

"General, please have tea!" The owner of the museum is very warmly entertained, he has long heard of Zhao Ziliang's "notoriety" in the capital, and Zhao Ziliang doesn't know what the so-called thing is when he comes here today, which makes him feel a little upset in his heart.

"Well, good tea!" Zhao Ziliang took a sip and couldn't help but praise.

"Ha, if the general likes to drink, I'll send some to the general later!" The pavilion owner smiled and asked again: "Xiaguan knows that the general has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what the general's instructions are when he comes to Xiaguan's small pavilion today?" ”

"Don't dare to do it!" Zhao Ziliang said and waved his hand to Bai Xiaode and the others: "Wait for you to retreat first!" ”

"No!"

Seeing this, the owner of the pavilion also waved his hand to let all the maids retreat.

Zhao Ziliang then said: "General Ben came here for one thing and wanted to ask the hall owner for help."

"Oh?" The hall owner was a little surprised, but still said: "General, please say, as long as the lower official can help, the lower official will never refuse!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "I want the owner of the pavilion to invite the deputy envoy of the Fu Embassy Jia Luolin to go outside to play, you see that now when the spring flowers are blooming, it is the time to go green, don't you go to the wild to play Wouldn't it be a disappointment to this beautiful scenery?" After the tour, the owner had to invite him to the restaurant for a big meal. If someone hints to the hall owner, please sneak this packet of powder into his wine glass, this is just an ordinary sweat pill, it will only make people unconscious, if no one hints to the hall owner, the sweat pill will not need to be ordered. As long as the official position helps me do this, it will be considered a great favor for me, and I Zhao will write down this favor, and when I need Zhao to return it in the future, just say it."

The hall owner was a little foggy at first, and he didn't know what Zhao Ziliang wanted to do, but he soon understood that Zhao Ziliang was only afraid that he was trying to find something from Gallolin, and this matter was not difficult, so it was better to sell face to Zhao Ziliang. Maybe he really needs Zhao Ziliang's help in the future, so he readily agreed: "This matter is no problem, but I don't know when the next official will start?" ”

"Right now!"

"Now?"

"That's right!"

"Okay! Go and prepare, general, wait! The owner got up and left.

It didn't take long for the owner of the pavilion to quietly send someone to tell Zhao Ziliang that he had left the embassy with Garolin and was heading out of the city in a carriage, accompanied by two beautiful women invited from the Qinglou to accompany them.

After Zhao Ziliang heard the report. got up and instructed Bai Xiaode: "You take someone to follow them to prevent Garolin from escaping after discovering the flaw." If he shows signs of fleeing, arrest him immediately, but not with his life".

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang walked out of the room alone, came to the door of the room where Jia Luolin lived, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he pushed the door in. The furnishings of the rooms are Chinese. However, some of the ornaments and small things are Western.

Zhao Ziliang moved quickly, quickly looked for suspicious objects under the bed and under the pillows, and spent nearly half an hour turning over almost the entire room, even the walls and floors were carefully checked. No hidden traps or compartments were found, only a thick notebook cut out of parchment paper was found under the pillow.

This thick book is still a little new, it looks like it should be made soon, open the parchment book, there is a written record on it, but Zhao Ziliang doesn't know Latin, thought about it and hid the small book in his arms, and quickly cleaned up the messy room and left.

"Go, get the interpreter in the embassy who understands the Fu Lak language!" Zhao Ziliang flipped through the book and instructed a servant.

Soon, a middle-aged man like a civil official was brought in, and the middle-aged man arched his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said, "I don't know what the general ordered when he called the subordinate over?" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Do you know how to write a word?" ”

"General, the subordinate does not say that he is proficient, but he can only say that he understands a little"

This is a modest word, Zhao Ziliang smiled, beckoned the middle-aged interpreter to sit down, handed over the parchment book in his hand and said, "You translate for General Ben!" ”

"Good!"

The middle-aged interpreter took the parchment notebook and opened the first page, looked at it a little and began to translate: "November 12th, the weather is sunny!" After eight months of long journey, hardships and obstacles, and nine deaths, our delegation finally arrived at Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Kingdom. The mission was one hundred and twenty-eight men when it set out from Constantinople, and only thirty-nine when it arrived in Chang'an, and the rest all died on the way, most of them in the territory of the Arabs, who deserve to be damned, are too brutal······".

"Chang'an, this is a name known to the whole world, my God, its city wall is more than thirty meters high, I stand under its gate, it is like an ant, this is the highest city wall I have ever seen, I think such a tall and strong city wall is definitely a terrible nightmare for the attacking enemy, I have always thought that Rome's construction technology is ahead of the world, but I didn't expect to see such a tall and strong city wall in the east, so I know that I was wrong, the Tang people's construction technology is not inferior to Rome, At the moment at the gate of Chang'an City, I knelt down very unhappily ······".

"The Roman Empire has always kept preaching its greatness to the world, lest the world not know it, while the Tang Empire may not know its own greatness, or it may not bother to preach it to the world at all, because it is great in itself, and there is no need to publicize and display it, and the world knows ······."

"On December 8th, I met with the head of the mission, Lord Hao Mar, in the Huaqing Palace, the emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Longji, and he gave me the impression of being wise and wise, although he was a little old, he did not look old! He invited me and Master Hemar to tea, and the smell of tea was more fragrant than the tea that the merchants sold to Constantinople·······"

"December 12th. The Tang Emperor Li Longji sent someone to invite me and Lord Hemar into the palace, talk to us, and ask us about the customs and culture of the Byzantine Empire, it seems that the emperor is a little unhappy, and when we enter the palace, we see a beautiful woman wearing a cultivator's costume running out of the Huaqing Palace crying. I wonder if the emperor's displeasure has anything to do with this nun······".

Hearing this, Zhao Zi's conscience moved, cultivator? It can't be Yang Yuhuan, right? Didn't Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao say that they wanted to go back to the fiefdom? Why haven't you gone yet?

Without waiting for Zhao Ziliang to continue thinking, he only heard the middle-aged interpreter continue to translate: "On December 21, things are not going well, the Tang people are too wary of me, and the language barrier makes it difficult to communicate, it seems that I have to learn Chinese······."

Except for these two. There are also a few diaries that are a bit interesting, and Zhao Ziliang is not interested in other content. Obviously, this is a diary written by Garolin after he arrived in Chang'an, and the translated sentences are easy to understand. As far as he knew, this Garolin should be the military attache of the Eastern Roman Empire, and he was also the deputy envoy, and he didn't have much to do, and he had a lot of time to gather intelligence.

This diary is not in any way a direct accusation that Garolin engaged in espionage. However, as evidence, two diaries implicitly mention that he was engaged in bribing Tang officials to obtain something. Zhao Ziliang stuffed the diary into his arms.

According to Wang Can, the relevant personnel who were bribed by Garolin have confessed, and he has a detailed technical record of the process of weapon building, but this record is not complete, and the various processes are not clear, and the room has been searched. No written word was found other than the diary, and if there was such a record, it would have been Galoline's possession.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang immediately took Hu Cong to find Bai Xiaode and others. The owner of the embassy pavilion was drinking in the Drunken Immortal Mansion with Garolin at this time. Garolin seems to be very fond of Tang Dynasty dishes, but he doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so he makes a big joke.

Looking at Garolin who kept grabbing vegetables with his hands, the owner of the embassy only felt speechless for a while, thinking that you have caught it with your hands, how can I eat it? It's hard to say this, the owner can only keep pouring wine into Garolin, and Garolin will not refuse to come.

"Objectively, this is the last dish, and it was given to adults by our shopkeeper!" The shopkeeper brought a plate of dishes and secretly glanced at the owner.

When the hall owner saw it, he knew in his heart that Zhao Ziliang must not have found what he wanted in Garolin's room, and it seemed that this thing was only on Garolin's body, so while Garolin was eating, he quietly put some sweat medicine in the wine jug.

The effect of the sweat pill was not fast, and after a cup of tea, Garolin poured it on the wine table, this time was undoubtedly the best, if he didn't find that thing on him, he thought that he was drunk, and everyone would not tear their faces, and it would not affect diplomatic relations.

Zhao Ziliang stood outside the door of the private room, walking back and forth non-stop, the door of the private room finally opened, and the owner of the hall waved his head at him: "The effect of the medicine has attacked, the general is at will!" The lower officials are waiting outside."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, walked into the private room alone, and immediately came to the unconscious Galolin and searched him.

Soon, Zhao Ziliang found a thick notebook also made of parchment on Galolin, opened it and looked at it, immediately closed it and walked out of the room, called the middle-aged interpreter over and handed over the parchment notebook: "Look at it, what is written on it."

The middle-aged interpreter took the notebook and looked at it, looked up and said suspiciously: "General, isn't this the process technique of making a horizontal knife and making a step bow from the supervisor?" How could it be written on this, or in whisk script? ”

Zhao Ziliang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Of course, Xia Guan dares to guarantee with his life! Once this kind of technology falls into the country of barbarians, the barbarians will use it to create sharp and tough weapons, which will be very disadvantageous to my Datang! ”

Zhao Ziliang's expression changed completely, and he said to Bai Xiaode: "Arrest Jia Luolin, put him in Zuojin Wuwei Prison, and tell the warden that no one is allowed to visit without General Ben's handwritten warrant, and those who violate it will be killed!" ”

"No!"

Seeing that Zhao Ziliang was talking murderously, the hall owner and the middle-aged interpreter realized the seriousness of the situation and were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out. (To be continued.) )
